How about Mullvad advertising quantum protection or whatever?

What? Post quantum encryption algorithms are the ones that any serious company should use right now. Because one of the algorithms that it’s stated to be far more efficient on a quantum computer than a binary one are number factorization, which is the bases of many public private enceypti algorithm. Right now it’s not possible, but listen now decrypt later. Means that anything encrypted now might be decrypted in not so many years by a quantum computer. They are not selling you a quantum computer, they are “selling” the algorithm you should be used if you don’t want your communications to be easily decrypted when a quantum computer with a higher number of stable qbits hits production.
